The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) partnered with East LA Community Corporation (ELACC) and BRIDGE Housing Corporation on Los Lirios Apartments located adjacent to the METRO E Line Soto station. Los Lirios offers studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes to families earning 30% -60% of Area Median Income (AMI) with 20 apartments set aside for formerly homeless households that are supported by Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers. Residential amenities include onsite offices for management and service providers, a workout room, on-site laundry, a community room, a children’s play area, and an outdoor courtyard.
As part of the Metro Joint Development Program, this project seeks to reduce auto use and increase transit ridership by directly linking Metro’s transportation network with retail, commercial, and housing opportunities. East LA Community Corporation provides social services for residents including afterschool tutoring, health and wellness workshops, and PATH Ventures provides case management and supportive services for the formerly homeless households.
